Phone Box

[Chris Bennett]

O M G! These are amazing.

(Not all are amazing ... but enough to call the entire series amazing. )

PS- What is a Phone Box? (I don't believe we have them in the colonies.)

That would be a booth, Gary!

 

[Chris Bennett]

Amazing, as always.

Thank you Luca

 

[Gary R. Smith]

Brilliant project and great shots!

I can't remember the last time I saw a phone box/booth here in Los Angeles. I'm gonna keep my eyes peeled for one.

In any event ... great series.

Thanks Gary. They're fast becoming extinct here too. Some are being repurposed as mini food banks, libraries and defibrillator stations.

The repurposing is a great idea. They're just being yanked out here.

Well, it's been a while since I posted on RPF and even longer since this thread has been troubled with a new post!

The project has continued though, with plenty more shots of Lancaster life through the filter of sorely abused windows.

Open handed

Still hanging on

On the ground floor

Great to see more of the recents from this body of work Chris- thanks for posting them here for the collective enjoyment. Open handed is a particularly powerful image to me; the loss of direct and simple communication.

As it happens, earlier this month, a sign appeared to announce that they were coming to take it away...

I moved quickly when I saw the sign and contacted the press office of BT, the phone provider. I was astounded that they agreed to me hosting a pop-up exhibition inside the now disabled kiosk.

That was Friday of last week.
We go live this Saturday!

Fantastic, @Chris Bennett! You should document the event and post your photos here. I'll be waiting!

I’ve been looking back at some of your Portrait Mode shots — honestly, I’m so impressed by what you can do. And your captions are just unbeatable.
